Training video on animal-free phototoxicity testing now available

A 19-minutes training video was recently released that demonstrates a cell-based in vitro method for assessing phototoxicity, an adverse effect caused by certain chemicals after being exposed to light. It needs to be assessed to assure the safety of products that are administered to the skin, such as cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, or of chemicals which reach the skin via the blood circulation after ingestion or intravenous administration.
